	Best Skin product line I've ever used!!!
By The ID from New York, NY on 8/9/2010
I am 29 years old and have used Proactiv for years...it kept my skin "manageable" or decent but not crystal clear. Switched to Clinique Men's line...it cleared my skin...followed by excessive drying (patches and skin tightness)...I used MD Formulations...didn't work at all...and now...I use this facial cleanser. Skin is soft, smooth and clear. I use this in conjunction with the face tonic followed by the advanced acne cream and then the lotion (I throw on a bit a sunblock afterwards if going out). Once a week I will throw on a mask but this stuff is fantastic...Menscience needs to be doing commericals like proactiv. there is an entire market of men out there looking for solutions to skin problems. I'm glad I tried it. I don't use any other products on my skin whatsoever. By the way, I have oily skin in case you are curious as to my skin type. The stuff works!

	broke me out...
By mac from Queens,NY on 7/20/2010
I have very sensitive skin that reacts when I change from one product to another, so after the first few uses I got a few blemishes, but once my skin was used to the product I haven't had a problem. So, if you have sensitive skin like I do, make sure you give it a chance before you make up your mind.

	The best
By Chris from Rhode Island on 5/26/2010
I've tried a lot of cleansers in my life, and this one is the product to beat. It doesn't dry my skin at all, and does a great job at preventing acne and blackheads

	A gentle giant
By TominBoston from Boston, MA on 3/2/2010 6:03:00 AM
With sensitive skin that burns easily, I have tried many different skin cleansers before settling on MenScience Daily Face Wash. I've been a convert and evangelist for the product for two years and scoff at other products' claims suggesting that they might be competitive. They simply aren't. As a well-known actor once said about his equally accomplished wife, "Why go out for hamburger when you have steak at home?"

	One of the most refreshing expericences
By Chris from Bowling Green, KY on 3/1/2010 2:03:00 PM
I was looking for a great face wash. I was soooo tired of buying products and using them for the first time and they worked, but after long term usage just wasnt practical with the typical top name brands. They would eventually dry my face making it tight and sometimes ashy. But i dont have to worry about it with this Cleanser. it not only works the first time but application after application! you dont need alot. every time i lather it in my hands and apply it, its like the first time, every time i use it. Overall its alot of punch for a little price....revitalizes my face and not to mention your not left with that strong odor. I would recommend the face lotion as well. Its a great combination between the two.

	works better than soap
By Sam from Colorado Springs, Colorado on 3/1/2010 1:03:00 PM
Doesn't leave a film, face actually comes clean, feels cool and comforting. I will not return to soap ever.

	Not Cheap, But Worth It
By Frank Mackey from Silver Spring, Md on 3/1/2010 8:03:00 AM
Just a great facial cleanser, particularly for my acne-prone skin. Good exfoliating properties without overdrying. A little goes a long way; one bottle lasts me around 9 months. My skin never looked better. Very highly recommended.

	Feel clean and sexy
By Zaydan from Los Angeles, CA on 2/26/2010 6:02:00 PM
Leaves skin refreshed and clean. Deep cleansing without a scent that makes you gag. The result being healthy looking skin, making the consumer feel alive and sexy.

	Best Face Wash I have used to date!
By DJ from Kansas on 2/26/2010 5:02:00 PM
I use the Daily Face Wash in the morning and at night for best results. I have tried many different face washes over the years and have finally found one I will stay with! My face feels completely clean and refreshed after use.

	Young again...
By Old but young from Anaheim, CA on 2/26/2010 4:02:00 PM
When I use this product, I feel assured that my face will look a little younger and fresh during the day. There are so many products that I've tried but this product is the only one that has came through. There is absolutely nothing bad I can say about this product.

	Use it Daily
By Dr. Paul from San Diego on 2/26/2010 10:02:00 AM
Truly NO Scent

	My face never looked so Good.
By Bret from Mission Viejo, Ca on 2/25/2010 2:02:00 PM
I use this daily , love it

	Baby Face Again
By Racerno6 from Greenville SC on 2/16/2010 7:02:00 PM
Most likely will be better during the summer months. Dries out my face and I need lotion, alot of lotion.

	Good Facewash
By M. Hizzle from Durham, NC on 10/7/2009 2:10:00 AM
Cleans well, but it leaves the skin dry

	best product ever bought
By nizam the user from brooklyn ny on 10/6/2009 3:10:00 PM
I used this product everyday after my purchase in fact it is such good product that i finished it within 2 weeks. my skin feels vibrant its cleared and it is by far the best i ever used.

	I love the daily face wash!
By Dr. Patrick from Chicago on 8/20/2009 4:08:00 PM
I use this product at least twice daily to wash my face. All through medical school and residency I suffered from embarrassing breakouts that cleared up when I started using the daily face wash. It doesn't dry out my face like the other stuff I had used, and my skin looks youger because of it. I will never use another face wash.

	nice face cleaner
By fats from Lubbock,Tx on 7/30/2009 8:07:00 PM
It's good stuff-- and I also like it because it will last awhile because this is the only bottle in our bathroom that my wife hasn't touched.

	Great ,will buy again.
By Robert the garden men from Gainesville Virginia on 7/29/2009 8:07:00 PM
A little goes a long way,therefore the price is just right.The rashes on my face has been greatly reduced after using this product. I have people that have noticed the improvement to my face.I am very happy with this product.

	Great stuff for the money
By SlickBuyer from California on 7/22/2009 10:07:00 AM
One of the best daily face washes on the planet. Does not leave your face soapy or dry or over-moisturized. Like other reviewers, this stuff works well for acne. I like how it is odorless as well. It is great for people with sensitive skin like myself. The price is not cheap but hey for stuff this good I say it's a bargain.

	It really is a DAILY face wash.
By Bill from Washington, DC on 6/23/2009 1:06:00 PM
This is an effective facial cleaner that you can use everyday and it doesn't dry out your skin. For best results use it with the Advanced Skin Lotion.

	Cleanes deeply and not harsh on skin
By HealthJunkie from Los Angeles, CA on 5/19/2009 9:05:00 AM
Yeah I am a budget buyer, but I was given this as a gift and now I'm hooked. It is worth every penny. No irritating fragrance added. It leaves skin feeling clean and somehow manages to slough off dead skin without drying out or irritating the skin. I have sensitive combination skin and I've never used a better facial cleanser.

	The rundown on face washes...
By Akhil from New York City, NY on 5/18/2009 4:05:00 PM
Menscience daily facewash does what it says. It leaves your face clean and smooth without overdrying. Ordinary facewashes (i.e. Neutrogena, Clearasil, Aveeno, etc.) wash away dirt/oil but leave a residue which essentially clogs your pores. Try washing a mirror with your facewash, let the mirror dry, then see the film/residue that is left behind. This is what was recommended by my dermatologist. One of these bottles lasts me as long as what 2-3 bottles of the other stuff. The facewash is a clear thin liquid. All you need is a drop the size of a dime and you can wash your entire face. Menscience and other dermatologist recommended brands (real dermatologists, not the ones you see on commercials promoting ordinary facewashes) use more expensive ingredients in their products. They don't spend millions of dollars on advertisements and celebrity endorsements like most ordinary products. Like all things in life, you get what you pay for.

	The best cleanser for problem skin
By Andrew D from Bedford, England on 5/18/2009 1:05:00 PM
I've been searching for a replacement for Dermalogica's Antibac Skin Wash since they unfortunately replaced it with an inferior product. Menscience Daily Face Wash is the perfect replacement. I suffer from clogged pores and flakey skin and this product does the incredible job of making my skin normal again. I like that even though it contains salicylic acid and glycolic acid, they are not in such high concentrations as to cause dryness or irritation - it's just the right balance. Although some may find this a tiny bit drying after washing, I find that I can just about get away with not using moisturiser if I don't want to, which saves money on expensive moisturisers!

	just AVERAGE
By KMAN from Los Angeles, CA on 5/18/2009 12:05:00 PM
I really really wanted to LOVE this face wash from all the glowing reviews. But the facewash is just average. I like the fact that it doesn't have any fragrance smell and does leave your skin clean. However, my skin started to itch after using this product. I stopped for a few days and the itch was gone. I went back on and my skin started getting itchy again. To be honest, even without the irritation, it's still pretty average of a cleaner. Hopefully the formulation can be improved and I will definitely give it a try again. For now, I'll be going back to organic products.

	Miracle treatment
By RN from Hudson, FL on 5/18/2009 11:05:00 AM
I was diagnose with rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis. I was given 4 prescription creams that would total $400.00 but thank God for insurance I payed $36.00. After using the face wash for month I haven't had to use the creams.

	The only face wash you will ever need!
By John from Morehead, KY on 4/9/2009 8:04:00 PM
I have very sensitive skin and most face washes leave my skin too dry to too greasy. The MenScience face wash is perfect. I use the face wash every morning and it leaves my face feeling clean and smooth.

	Excellent product
By Outdoor Ball Player from Sacramento, CA on 2/10/2009 2:02:00 PM
Leaves face feeling smooth

	First time user
By Non Metro Guy from Los Angeles, CA on 2/5/2009 11:02:00 AM
This is my first time buying a menscience product. I have only used over the counter products like Nivea or Neutrogena facial cleanser which is in the $5 - $7 range and never paid for anything that expensive before. I've decided to look for something new since the Neutrogena face wash always left my face dry and it would have a tendency to break out afterwards. I'm 31 years old now and for the most part never had acne problems, I was just looking for something that cleans my face well and look my best. At first the hefty price tags on their products made me a little skeptical about forking out that much but I feel like with menscience 100% money back guarantee program, it wouldn't hurt to try it out. WOW, after trying on their product, I can see why people pay a premium price for it! This facial cleaner is very gentle and leaves your skin clean and fresh (I have combination of oily and dry skin). Thinking back, most of us guys spend a ton of money on electronic gadgets and our hobbies...for the price you pay to maintain your skin at it's best, it's definitely worth it. I will try to leave a follow up review after continuing to use this product 2 times a day for a month. For some weird reason my forehead was breaking out before I purchased this cleaner, hope it'll do its job.

	The ladies love this back-zit cure
By Cured from Washington, DC on 1/13/2009 11:01:00 AM
I began using this product after reading about it in GQ. I have always had problems with "backne" and have tried dozens of different soaps with no luck. This body wash has cleared up the zits and I think it actually has helped with some of the scarring I had. Finally, and most importantly, ladies find the light fragrance that the tea tree oil gives off absolutely irresistible!

	Impressive as a stand alone product
By The Super Sexy Soviet Russian from Moscow, ID on 12/17/2008 2:12:00 PM
I use this product day and night and it leaves my face feeling clean and refreshed. I really like the feeling of using the face wash. Its easy to apply and just as easy to rinse. Can't wait to use it in combination with the advanced face lotion.

	Excellent Product
By KB from Mobile, AL on 12/17/2008 6:12:00 AM
Use every morning in the shower and at night before bed. Does not dry skin out and does not irritate skin at all. Leaves a nice clean feeling without being harsh. I'll continue using for sure.

	Good Product
By burris from Sheridan, IN on 12/16/2008 6:12:00 PM
This is a good product. I was using the product twice daily. I recommend only using product every few days. For my sensative skin if started to break me out worse that I was. I cut back usage to maybe 2 times a week. If has worked great for me.

	Effective and Affordable
By MRJLamont from Dallas, TX on 12/16/2008 2:12:00 PM
Upon first reading about the Daily Face Wash, I was somewhat skeptical that a cleanser could be effective for all skin types. Being a male with combination skin, it's imperative that a cleanser not be overly harsh, yet still not be too moisturizing. So far, Menscience has definitely performed well. I use the cleanser twice a day, and it certainly does not over-dry. It has done an incredibly effective job at keeping blemishes at bay, and it has helped considerably to smooth and refine. A small amount surely goes a long way. No product is perfect, but so far I am pleased.

	Customer for life!!!
By Aaron from Kansas City, MO on 11/8/2008 3:11:00 PM
This is a very quality face wash that will do wonders for your skin. I have been using this product for about a year now and I must say that my skin has never felt or looked this great. The only con I have is that this product along with all the other Menscience products are very addicting so there is no turning back after you try them. Quality investment if you value your skins appearance.

	Better than the Rest
By Buck the Hunter from Santa Barbara, CA on 11/4/2008 6:11:00 PM
I've tried the budget cleansers and it felt like i was throwing my money away because they didn't really seem to work all that well. I've also tried the high-end stuff and while some of the products were good I still felt like i was throwing my money away because they don't give you much for the price. MenScience wash is quality and comes in a large size bottle that'll last you plenty. Great product at a great value.

	Deep cleans without overdrying
By Cliff from Chicago, IL on 11/4/2008 1:11:00 PM
This product is great for year 'round use- especially during the winter. It deep cleans without over drying. I use it everyday. It is fragrance free and lathers well

	Great for Sensitive Skin
By Robert from Phoenix, AZ on 11/4/2008 10:11:00 AM
I used the product for a month straight. Within the month my face started to break out worse which is expected changing face products. As time went on my face started to get really clear with no pimples just little rashy bumps. I have continued to use the product. Glycolic is way great for sensitive skin. Started off a good product for me and now my face looks great.

	Cleared up acne
By Brad from Chicago, IL on 11/4/2008 9:11:00 AM
Starting about 45 days ago, I began using the face wash twice a day (along with the face scrub every other day). I have been struggling with acne for the last year or so and have tried everything (including prescription acne medicine). None of it worked. However, my acne is now almost completely gone thanks to the Menscience face wash, face scrub and face lotion. I highly recommend all three products.

	Great Stuff
By Jiggy from Philly on 10/29/2008 12:10:00 PM
This is good Stuff

	Good face wash
By Mike from Bellevue, WA on 9/10/2008 7:09:00 AM
Great daily wash. My skin texture felt noticeably smoother after using this and the daily facial moisturizer. My only criticism is the product could smell better - a small price to pay though.

	Just what I was looking for
By M from New York on 8/27/2008 11:08:00 AM
First off, it seems MenScience products use natural ingredients instead of synthetic ones. With that said, they also don't add unnecessary scents to their products. MenScience's daily face wash makes your face feel clean, and it also makes your skin complexion more natural. Face wash is a good way to prevent outbreaks -- Menscience's face wash does this. I will continue to buy this product.

	The best!
By Mike from Norfolk, VA on 8/27/2008 9:08:00 AM
For years I used Zirh's Clean, but no more. Your daily face wash rinses cleaner, cleans better and doesn't dry out my skin.

	Didn't know it was possible...
By Kevin from Lansing, MI on 8/13/2008 11:08:00 PM
After using just about every major brand of soap and facewash over the years, I'd given up on the product as something that just got some dirt out and maybe smelled good. But nothing ever cleared my complexion, and made my face actually 'feel' good. Now after a year using this, I'm converted. My recurrent acne is all but a memory, and my face feels soft and clean all day. Not sure if it's the glycolic acid, after using salicylic all these years, but whatever it is, it works. At first I was hesitant because of the price, but now seeing that one bottle lasts me 6 months or more, it's easily worth the price. Can't see myself switching from this anytime soon.

	Finally - cleanser with no smell
By Doubtful in CA from Palos Verdes, CA on 8/13/2008 12:08:00 PM
I use this for daily cleansing and it is great. A little goes a long way and it has no smell.

	A Great Product
By Ringo from Minneapolis, MN on 8/13/2008 11:08:00 AM
The face cleaner from MenScience is a great product for the every day cleaning of your face. It has a light scent and leaves you face feeling very clean. I alternate it with the face scrub and my skin has never looked better. As an added benefit it is a terrific pre-shave routine when used with the Face Buff Brush. This combination gives many of the benefits of a traditional shave brush and I have had some of the closest shaves of my life since using it. Overall I could not be happier.

	great product
By mike from shreveport, la on 8/12/2008 4:08:00 PM
one of the few face cleanser i have used that actually feels like it cleans the skin. i have had bad acne my whole life and this products does a great job. it doesn't cure it but it is a great confidence booster.

	Try It!!
By Lou The Dude from San Diego, CA on 8/12/2008 1:08:00 PM
I use this every night before I sleep. I also use the Daily Scrub before I shave and they both have done wonders for my skin. This product is gentle, easy to use, comes in a big bottle, and just plain works. I have oily skin and it has helped reduce the oil that my skin produces. My skin is noticeably softer and smoother. Although I wish it worked a little better on the blemishes that were left from the pimples it helped get rid of. But still overall a really good product. I recommend it highly.

	Great product, I saw results right away.
By Lisa from Towson, Maryland on 8/12/2008 1:08:00 PM
I bought this product for my teenaged son who was having problems with acne and razor bumps. We saw immediate improvement in the texture of his skin and it is so easy to use. I highly recommend it.

	Good to the last drop!
By Paul the Trooper from Sugar Land, TX on 8/1/2008 8:08:00 AM
Treat your face to something special like Menscience Daily Face Wash and Microfine Face Scrub. These are exceptional products that quickly and gently produce visible results. What a phenomenal skin care product for men. My face became softer, remained moisturized, and my pores were visibly reduced. The results were quick to appear and believe me, they were impressive. I highly recommend this product to all men who are looking to improve the look, the feel, and the condition of their skin. Overall, a most excellent product.

	You will be happy.
By qchris from Texas on 7/18/2008 9:07:00 AM
I have tried many face wash products and the mens science daily wash has given me the best results. In less than 2 weeks I noticed a difference in my skin. It' clear, not oily, smooth, and most importantly healthy. I will buy this product again and estimate that one bottle will last me 6 months or more. Great buy and great results.

	Face Wash Heaven
By The Fish from CA on 7/10/2008 2:07:00 PM
Really helps keep skin clean and clear

	Best of the Best
By seven from Plantation, Fl on 6/26/2008 12:06:00 PM
I use this product everyday while I take a shower. I never will use soap again. This face wash leaves me with a sense of total clean.

	This is it for me
By KC from Fairfax, VA on 6/2/2008 6:06:00 PM
I have been using this product for last few weeks. this is a sensative product does what it promises. My sensative eyes no longer burn those used to with other products i used so far.It leaves skin a little dry but there is no product out there which cleans without driness. I have used many expensive ones but i am sold to this one for a long time. until menscinece comes up with upgrades :-)

	Not just any face wash!
By Steve from Tucson, AZ on 6/2/2008 9:06:00 AM
I've tried many men's facewash products over the years and have finally found one that truly understands a man's face. I use this product 2x daily and have seen a difference in my skin in just 2 weeks; less breakouts, little to no skin irritation from shaving and an even complexion. I'm looking forward to trying more products from MenScience!

FAQ:

Q:	What skin types is this product for?
A:	Daily Face Wash is a gentle foaming cleanser that is designed to benefit all skin types. Because it doesn’t contain soap or irritants and utilizes conditioning ingredients, it works well for sensitive or dry skin. It’s content of Glycolic and Salicylic Acids also make it appropriate for combination, oily or acne-prone skin. We recommend sensitive and dry skin types use a smaller amount of product (about ½ teaspoon) and combination or oily types use about 1 teaspoon.

Q:	What results should I expect to see from using the Daily Face Wash?
A:	Because of the presence of Glycolic and Salicylic Acids, the product will help smooth and soften your skin after only a few uses and your complexion will look smooth, soft and refreshed. As you regularly use the product over time, your skin will continue to look better and better.

Q:	How often should I use Daily Face Wash?
A:	Daily Face Wash is a high-performance face cleanser for men to be used in place of soap-based products for regular daily cleansing of the skin. Most men will not need to cleanse their faces more than once a day, but if you have oily skin or your skin accumulates a lot of impurities from work or sports, you can repeat in the evening. While all skin is different, we recommend you use a smaller amount of product (about ½ teaspoon) for dry and sensitive skins and about 1 teaspoon for combination or oily types.

Q:	How long should one bottle last?
A:	Daily Face Wash is designed for regular daily use and it is packed in a large 8 oz. bottle. How long it lasts varies widely from customer and customer, but on average it should last approximately 3-5 months.

Q:	Should I use the Daily Face Wash before or after the Microfine Face Scrub?
A:	It is not recommended to use both Daily Face Wash and Microfine Face Scrub at the same time unless you have very oily skin. We recommend you alternate the days you use Daily Face Wash and Microfine Face Scrub, making sure to exfoliate with Microfine Face Scrub at least once a week.

Q:	My skin feels dry and tight in the morning, but oily and shiny in the evening. Can Daily Face Wash help me?
A:	You may be using a soap that is stripping away your face’s natural softeners. This causes initial dryness, but then provokes an overproduction of oil which makes your face appear oily afterwards. Wash with Daily Face Wash in the mornings to combat this problem (use less amount of product if you have dry skin), and again in the evening only if your face still looks or feels oily.

Q:	Is this product for acne-prone skin?
A:	Daily Face Wash is formulated for all skin types to be used on a daily basis and it is not an acne medication. Because it contains a 1% concentration of Salicylic Acid and a 3% concentration of Glycolic Acid, it is an ideal complement for oily or blemish-prone skin.
